Zegi

Zegi is great.
We hired Mike for our wedding and he was fantastic. My fiancée and I knew we wanted a good DJ for our wedding. I started looking early, calling and emailing several Atlanta area DJ’s. Mike and I hit it off right away. He is very prompt and succinct in answering questions, returning emails and phone calls. He is very professional. Unlike some of the other DJ’s I contacted, he was not pushy in getting us to sign a contract, or include any extras. He was totally focused on working with us to give us exactly what we want, within our budget.
Once we hired Mike, the process was easy. We had a few conversations with him to set the tone, overall goals, and few special custom details we wanted to include into the event. He has a simple system to set up some «must-​play» «like-​to-​play» and «don’t-play» songs prior to the event. While we did utilize those song lists, we knew it didn’t have to be comprehensive and we did not spend a lot of time making a «play list.» Part of hiring a great DJ is having the trust to know that if we want to hear A & B, he knows he can mix in X, Y, & Z. He was even flexible and skilled enough to accommodate a last minute, during-​the-​event song request into the very well mixed grand finale.
Zegi is talented enough to play at several venues and clubs around town. He’s not your typical wedding DJ. But he also was so professional and humble during the whole process. He always showed up on time, was very polite, and earned the respect of everyone involved. The southern conservative mothers loved him, the 93 year old british grandmother loved him, the venue representative loved him, and the wedding coordinator loved him. We love him and can’t recommend him any higher!

I can’t stop thinking about how awesome the music and Zegi’s sweet DJ skills were during our wedding. Mike Zarin struck the perfect balance of old school, new school, and throwback jams for our wedding. We had all generations in attendance, and Mike kept us all dancing — all night long. From planning, to requests, to handling every last detail with ease and poise… Mike Zarin is a true find and the ultimate professional. He was one of the highlights of our wedding day and we loved having him be a part of our special event. We love Mike and would hire Zegi again in a heartbeat!!!

Mike would get 10 stars if the website allowed it. We hired Mike to DJ at our party this past weekend. I had been in contact with him since April. Not only was he extremely accommodating he delivered exactly as promised. He knows how to read a room and a crowd so well. If you want a blast and a solid music experience at your next function, I strongly advise hiring Mike to be your DJ!

After we got engaged the first and easiest decision we made was to hire Mike to be our DJ. We attended a wedding in 2012 that he did and it was so memorable (and FUN!) that we never even looked at other DJs. Mike helped us through the planning process by providing an outline of spaces we’d need music, worked with our eclectic taste and had everyone dancing the whole night. Additionally, Mike could not be a nicer guy; he was always accommodating and made us feel totally at ease at every stage of the planning.
After the wedding people mentioned over and over to us how much they liked the music and specifically how well the DJ mixed everything together. We had so much fun and it’s largely because we hired Mike. Would recommend him to anyone, no hesitation.

If you are looking for the best DJ in town to completely blow away your expectations of how much fun your wedding can be, look no further than Mike Zarin. Mike came highly recommended from pretty much all of our vendors, but of course we had to meet him first. Music is a big part of our lives, and you could tell from our first meeting that Mike got it immediately. He made the planning process simple, and you could actually feel his passion to play great music that keeps people on their feet. After my bride and I greeted our guests, we headed out to the dance floor and did not leave until the final song. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received on the song selection and flow of the music. Two of my out-​of-​town family members went so far as to find out if Mike would travel to other states for engagements. You are completely missing out if you do not pick Mike to celebrate with you on your day!

Mike did an amazing job at our wedding reception! Several of our guests commented on how fantastic he was. He had a great vibe going all evening and we all had the best time! I would definitely recommend Zegi Entertainment, you will not be disappointed.

My guests cannot stop telling me how much fun they had at our reception and I know it’s largely in part to Mike. Before the wedding, he really helped us pick our songs that fit our tastes and that our guests would like. Also — he helped create a mash-​up of songs for the Father-​Daughter dance that all of our guests loved! At the reception — the dance floor was packed and everyone was having a good time — which was what we wanted for our guests! If you book Mike for your wedding — you and your guests will not be disappointed.

I’ll be the latest to rave about Mike as a wedding DJ. We got married a couple weeks ago, just got back from our honeymoon last night.
Mike was the perfect DJ. We chose him many months ago after reading the reviews on this Unilocal page, and he was everything we hoped for and then some. During planning, he was really easy to work with along the way, answered all our questions promptly, was sharp and on top of every little request and tweak. The afternoon of our wedding (while he was setting up), whenever I checked in with him with some little thing that I remembered to confirm, he was already on top of it, knew exactly what I was talking about, and then pulled it off flawlessly that night.
Mike handled the sound/​mic for our ceremony, took care of a great playlist during the cocktail hour and dinner, and then most importantly, put together a perfect mix for the reception dance party. The mix was based on our conversation about what we were looking for, the ages of our guests, and a list of possible songs we wanted him to play, but mostly he just got the feel for what we wanted (and what our guests wanted), and put together a mix that kept everyone dancing until the very end (and then staying on the dance floor wishing it could go on longer, and, if memory serves, giving him big applause). Like others on here have said, many of our guests commented about how good he was and asked where we found him.
Mike was a huge part of making the wedding a big success. Thanks again.

My wife and I had crazy high expectations for the music at our wedding, and Mike surpassed them with flying colors. We had multiple guests ask us how we were able to find such a great DJ with such great musical selection. We of course had a list of songs we wanted to hear that we gave him beforehand, but Mike was able to pull from that short list our general vibe and nailed it perfectly. For us, he hit everything from current radio pop and hip-​hop hits all the way back to the classic soul recordings that inspired them. And throughout the pre-​planning process he was completely professional and easy to work with. We’d readily recommend him for anyone getting married or just trying to throw a killer dance party!

Mike was a fantastic DJ. We gave him very little direction — we like funk and motown and would like people to dance all night — and he just ran away with it. He kept the energy level very high and made a fantastic selection of songs, and our guests repeatedly mentioned to us what a great job he did. He was very easy to work with and generally did a great job of dealing with our pre-​wedding neuroticism. He also went out of his way to smooth a potential sound problem with the venue for the ceremony, which helped enormously.

Mike did an amazing job at our wedding in October. He is by far one of the best dj’s and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and dancing! He worked with us every step of the way to make sure that the music reflected our style and would still be fun for everyone. All of our vendors remarked on his professionalism and ease to work with.
This IS the DJ you have been looking for :)

Being introduced to Mike was the one of the biggest points of relief throughout our wedding planning process. Music has a lot to do with where my husband and I had so many memories at the very beginning, and making our wedding the best compilation of our music style and taste throughout the 6 years we’ve been together was one of the most important details for the big day. He always had flexibility to work with your schedule to meet and keep the ball rolling on planning. Mike really understood what we wanted for our guests — and for us — throughout the entire evening, and he did an amazing job. It’s been a few weeks since our wedding and we’re still getting compliments on how awesome DJ was and how the music selection was so thoughtful and tailored. Mike’s the best!

First and foremost, the music at our wedding was fantastic! With little guidance from us, Mike put together an awesome set that kept the dance floor active throughout the reception. Mike did a great job of playing a variety of music that appealed to all of our guests. Mike didn’t just play music… he performed it by adding transitions, remixes, and mash ups along the way. We continue to hear compliments from our guests about the quality of the music at the wedding.
Leading up to the event, Mike was a pleasure to work with. He was organized with planning materials, available whenever we needed to speak, and prompt in responding to communication. We felt like he really listened to us about music preferences and cared about making our event special.
We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to host an event! He is certainly leagues above your typical wedding DJ.
Thanks for helping us create a wonderful evening Mike!

Mike Zarin rocked our wedding! From the initial planning and conversations to the wedding night, Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with… in addition, he’s an amazing DJ and emcee. We gave Mike a challenging list of requirements that included integrating Latino music, a first dance medley of 3 songs, and a few classics that needed a charge-​up. Mike flawlessly executed and exceeded our expectations, and nearly everyone at the wedding was like, ‘that DJ guy, yeah, he like, rocked… wish he DJ’d my wedding.’ Thank You!!!

Mike Zarin and our DJ, Danny, did a great job with our event. We already had gotten married and we were having a big party for our friends and family, and Mike quickly understood the more informal, «block party,» feel we wanted for our event. Everyone had a great time at the reception. Danny even had a polka to play for the Polish in — laws. If I ever have the occasion that requires a DJ, I would undoubtedly contact Zegi.

When I started the search for a DJ for our wedding I was completely discouraged by the cheesiness my google searches were yielding. I did not want that at my wedding. Then a wonderful florist highly recommended Mike Zarin of Zegi saying «he’s got a really cool vibe about him.» I emailed him immediately, he responded that day and we set up a time to chat. Mike was super personable and made me feel at ease seeing as I live in New York and the wedding was in Georgia I knew we wouldn’t meet until the big day. We made a timeline together over the phone, using his documents I sent over the info he needed and then wedding day approached.
Mike is not your typical wedding disc jokey, as my brother said it best «this guy is real deal! «Without exaggeration Mike has got to be one of the most talented djs out there. He doesn’t just play music, he gets music and he mixes music that I didn’t know could be mixed. He spent time before the wedding going over my song requests and it meant a lot. Everyone was impressed with his talents and his overall presence. On our honeymoon when we were reminiscing about our wedding Mike Zarin’s name kept coming up. My husband and I were just so blown away. He made the night so much fun and I can’t wait for the opportunity to see Mike mixing up tunes again at my next wedding jk. But maybe a crazy baby shower.

Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Creative

Mike is tied for first place with Altmix for best vendor at my wedding. He was the epitome of professional and fun. My wedding was on a Sunday night so the crowd was a bit more mellow than expected, however Mike embraced this and gave us an amazing playlist and endless energy whether there were 3 or 30 people on the dance floor. He listened to my music recommendations but managed to craft a fun and perfect playlist that I didn’t have to micro manage. Any future event that needs music of any kind, I know where to look. Do yourself a favor and book Zegi. Can’y say enough good things about this experience.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. First of all, he is extremely professional, on-​time, and incredibly responsive. We used him for a corporate VIP event at the High. He picked the perfect mix for the event, was able to keep the energy up for the entire duration of the event, and even created a custom mix for the client. Everybody loved working with him, and the event was extremely successful.
He was a recommendation of a colleague, who had used him at her wedding. She raved about him, so I reached out to him for our corporate event. I am so glad she recommended him, and would also recommend him for any event, personal or corporate. He is able to adjust the music and the mood based on your (or your client’s) personal style perfectly.

Many times weddings are full of awkward moments, bad music and empty dance floors. However, Mike Zarin did an amazing job of setting the tone and keeping things moving smoothly. From the great laid back mixes of cocktail hour to getting everyone on the dance floor, including mothers, aunts and uncles, Mike did an amazing job of creating a fun vibe. While many wedding DJs would talk too much or play the same songs you hear at all the weddings, Mike kept it fresh and managed to pull out a lot of songs I knew I wanted but never told him. That’s Mike Zarin: DJ, MC, Party Director and part time Psychic.

Mike Zarin & the Zegi team’s performance at our wedding exceeded all expectations we held. Along with flawless execution of our ceremony, Mike was able to read our crowd throughout the evening during the reception to keep them extremely entertained, filled with energy, and on their feet most of the night. Mike’s attention to details, timelines, and his ability to customize his performance to fit his customers’ needs make him extremely unique in the highly competitive wedding/​event entertainment arena. We recommend Mike to fulfill your musical and emcee needs at your next event, whatever style it may be.
